Re: Obama Protesters Sing 'Bye Bye Black Sheep,' in AZ

Instead what conservatives tend to do (at least conservatives of the tea party type) is to defend the racism, downplay it, and deflect.

Witness some of the posts on this thread.

And others use the allegation of racism to excuse anything this worthless president does. Just because Obama looks black doesn't mean he us beyond criticism or isn't to be held accountable for what he does.

I find that people like you want to deflect the conversation to Obama's being viewed as black so you can excuse his worthless policies or the fact that he is almost single-handedly destroying this country. I have to believe you have this as your goal also. What I don't know is whether or not you do it in ignorance or on purpose.

But I have to stand corrected, Sgt. Stein did put up on the face book page "As an active duty Marine, I say 'Screw Obama' and I will not follow all orders from him," but the post was removed five minutes later. Not fast enough I suppose.

The reason the Marine Corps refused to do any thing about Stein in the begaining until the word came down from the White House to court martial Stein is because over the decades soldiers, sailors and Marines have said similar things, LBJ and Nixon during the Vietnam war, Carter during the 70's and especially Clinton who is on record saying he despises the military. But name one enlisted soldier, Marine, sailor or airman who was ordered to be court martialed by the POTUS ?

It's not a coincidence. If you can scare people, you can get them to do anything. Conservative ideology is based almost completely on fanning the flames of insecurity to get them to support foolish and destructive conservative policies. It's the only way conservatives can gain support. They always lose on the facts and merits.

The cover of the Marine Corp magazine says...."Noisy NCO's who defy chain of command..and why the brass isn't stopping them".

Why isn't the brass stopping them? That cover was disrespectful and if that is the attitude in the Marine Corp then not only is the POTUS well within his bounds to make a few court martials but wise that he disarm the Marines at Camp Pendalton when he visits.
